37, going to retire in 6 months.
Really looking forward to it because the grind hasn't made sense anymore the last couple of years.
Not happy about not owning real estate to live in when tapping out, but the extra couple of years of working don't seem worth it. The retirement fund is stocks and bonds only, built over the last 15 years. The passive income it generates is 150% of my current monthly overhead. I feel that this is safe enough to tap out. I plan to continue to invest, but moderately, so the fund will continue to grow, in order to keep up with inflation over the next 30 to 50 years.
I think I did all the right things, started early, invested wisely, lived frugally, all that.
What's most concerning to me is the lifestyle change. I guess I will have to pick up small gigs on the side or volunteer or something in order not to go really retarded really fast.

- Sounds awesome. You can indulge in non money earning passions. I'd be making electronic music, painting, designing furniture etc...shapesalad
